I’ll be discussing ANSWER’s communist origins.

But first, let’s review. ANSWER was formed three whole days after 9/11 and immediately organized a protest against our efforts to capture Osama bin Laden. Since that demonstration of their allegiance to al-Qaeda, their work on behalf of America’s enemies has continued unabated.
Now let’s have a look at the people behind ANSWER.
ANSWER was founded by members of the International Action Center (IAC), a front group for the Workers World Party.
And if you think “Workers World Party” sounds like the name of a communist organization, you’re right! It is.
The purpose of the IAC is to put together “grass-roots” organizations that will further the goals of the Workers World Party. Among these organizations are ANSWER and a few of the groups that make up ANSWER’s “steering committee.”
Other organizations founded under the aegis of the IAC include supposed anti-war groups like Vote No War Funding, Stop War On Iraq, and People Judge Bush; a self-described “Marxist Youth Organization” called FIST (“Fight Imperialism Stand Together”); the Committee to Stop the U.S. War in Colombia, which supports two communist rebel groups in that country; the New York Committee to Free the Cuban Five, which advocates the release of five Cuban agents convicted of espionage in the United States; the Association of Mexican American Workers, which fights for the “rights” of Mexican invaders; two producers of communist propaganda, the People’s Video Network and Leftbooks; and No Draft No Way, which seems to be made up of people who haven’t figured out that the draft was abolished over thirty years ago.
The IAC is also behind several groups devoted to freeing convicted cop-killer and left-wing cause celebre, Mumia Abu-Jamal. These include the Mumia Mobilization Office, Youth and Students for Mumia, Rainbow Flags for Mumia, and Millions 4 Mumia.
Betcha thought I was going to post a picture of Mumia here, didn’t ya? Nope, that’s Daniel Faulkner, the cop Mumia murdered. And here’s Maureen Faulkner, the woman Mumia made a widow.
By the way, ever notice how the leftists who claim Mumia was framed for Daniel Faulkner’s murder never seem all that concerned about finding the real killer? If I were a cynical man, I might believe the whole “free Mumia” thing was politically-motivated.
Anyway, many of the organizations started by the IAC seem to exist only on paper. They’re run out of the same New York offices, use the same phone numbers, and have many of the same members. So why does the IAC go to the trouble of setting up these phony organizations? Simple. To create the illusion that there are teeming multitudes of people who support their little crusades and causes.
In addition to its other pet projects, the IAC is mixed up with something called the International Anti-Occupation Network.
This “network” was put together by the Brussels Tribunal, a collection of self-described “academics, intellectuals, and artists” from all over the world.
Actually, they’re just a bunch of pompous, self-righteous leftists pretending like they have some authority to pass judgment on the United States. In their literature, they refer to the people murdering our troops in Iraq as a “popular national resistance” which “deserves the support of people everywhere.” So much for supporting our troops.
Believe it or not, the International Action Center is headed up by a former Attorney General of the United States, Ramsey Clark.
Ramsey was the AG from 1967 to 1969, under President Lyndon B. Johnson (a Democrat, of course!)
A few years later, Ramsey took a little jaunt to North Vietnam to offer his support to the communist government of that country, at a time when we were at war with them. Amazingly, when Red Ramsey returned to US soil, he was not arrested, tried, and executed for treason. Instead, he was invited to come before Congress and talk about his Asian adventure, like some kind of returning dignitary.
Ramsey told Congress the American POWs in Vietnam were well-treated by their communist captors. The returning POWs, themselves, gave somewhat less positive accounts of the treatment they received. At least, the ones who actually survived long enough to come home.
Not content to collaborate with our North Vietnamese enemies, Red Ramsey’s spent the last thirty years providing support and legal counsel to just about anyone who expresses a desire to kill Americans. These have included Middle Eastern dictators like Ayatollah Khomeini, Moammar Gadhafi, and Saddam Hussein.
Ramsey was pretty tight with Saddam, actually. On the eve of the Gulf War, he traveled to Iraq to console Saddam personally. He did so in his capacity as the head of the National Coalition to Stop US Intervention in the Middle East. This “coalition” opposed the liberation of Kuwait by our military, but, tellingly, refused to condemn Saddam’s invasion of Kuwait. Naturally, it was another front group for the Workers World Party.
Years later, when Saddam was facing prosecution for crimes against humanity, Red Ramsey volunteered to serve on his defense team. Here he is making an ass of himself at Saddam’s trial, seconds before he was forcibly removed from the courtroom.
